Clockwork Revolution may look like BioShock Infinite, but game director Chad Moore has said the project is better described as the “love child” of role-playing games such as Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.
Moore said he has “always” described Clockwork Revolution as a mix of the two, due to its “deep world building, compelling narrative, crunchy RPG systems, engaging gameplay, and massive reactivity,” on Twitter.
Moore’s credits include both Arcanum and Bloodlines, as he was a lead artist and designer at developer Troika Games from 1999 to 2004. On his website, Moore states he was involved in narrative, content, and character design for both games.
